Abstract
A wrap-around carrier to package a linear series of gable-top liquid cartons is formed from a one piece paperboard blank conformed so that an end flap will cover a major area of an end of the erected carrier to inhibit damage, loss, or pilferage of an object such as a straw temporarily secured to an otherwise exposed side of a contained carton. The top panel is provided with a longitudinally running tear strip, conveniently wide enough to form a returnable card or a coupon, the coupon provided with advertising or other indicia on one or both of its surfaces.
